Car repair costs climb in the cold

WALKER, Mich. (WZZM) -- The brutally cold winter has been good for Josh Fulford's employer. Fulford manages Complete Automotive Repair on Alpine. "We've been backed up for weeks now" Fulford said Friday. Some of the most common cold repairs:

- New batteries ($100)

- Tires ($30 - $100)

- No Heat ($30 - $2000)

- Side Mirrors ($50 - $300)

- Wiper transmission ($100)

Side mirror repairs are due to the cramped streets caused by so much snow - vehicles parked on the street can get clipped.

Fulford has yet to see a big business in pothole-caused repairs, but expects to stay backed up, once the potholes start popping.
